1.
Title: The Road to Yu Dao
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Characters/Pairings: Toph, Teo
Warnings: There is no explicit death, rape or sex; I don't know if I'm able to warn fully, but I didn't deliberately write anything dark. Probably no standard warnings apply.
Rating: PG-13 based on the fact that one chapter mentions a brothel; otherwise, it would probably be G.
Summary: Toph, annoyed by ableism in the Gaoling police force, decides to travel to Yu Dao to convince everyone to make things accessible from the get-go with their new United Whatever. She convinces Teo to go with her, and the story follows Toph and Teo on their trip across the Earth Kingdom, trying to spend the trip making things as accessible as possible and improving the lives of PWDs. An OC also plays a role for the second half of the story.
Claims open for: everything.

2.
Title: Reflection of Hope
Fandom: M*A*S*H
Characters/Pairings: Hawkeye Pierce, Sidney Freedman, Charles Emerson Winchester III, Margaret Houlihan, Sherman Potter, Mildred Potter, Father Mulcahy, BJ Hunnicutt, Erin Hunnicutt, George, Charles/Margaret, references to past Hawkeye/Trapper, past Hawkeye/Tommy, Hawkeye/OMC, Hawkeye/OFC, Hawkeye/Sidney
Warnings: Internalized ableism, internalized homophobia
Rating: PG-13
Summary: After the war, Hawkeye finds himself at loose ends. Writing to his friends from the 4077th helps, as does having a psychiatrist recommended by Sidney Freedman. It's not always enough, though, not struggling with mental illnesses that the medical community hasn't caught up to yet, and facing other internal turmoil he's long carried with him. He's not alone in this, not by far, and that's what he has to keep reminding himself. The war might have driven him crazy, but that doesn't mean he has to let it win.
Claims open for: Visual art, fanvids, written meta, meta videos, and fanmixes.

3.
Title: Two Kingdoms
Fandom: Original fiction
Characters/Pairings: Meyers family; Brenda (Young) Meyers/Bill Meyers
Warnings: PTSD related to domestic abuse (physical, verbal, sexual) and resultant panic attacks, defensiveness, etc.; PTSD, anxiety, and depression (maybe also addiction) related to child sexual abuse; description of recovery from traumatic amputation;some references to experiences in war
Rating: PG-13 at the moment, but may go up
Summary: When Brenda and Bill strike up a relationship, they don't know how they'll change each other, nor how their children will factor in. From the mundane things like raising a family, to the realities of their everyday (PTSD, anxiety, depression, and, eventually, a lost limb), to the unusual, their family solidifies every step of the way.
Claims open for: Any!

4.
Title: the knife in my back reminds me of you
Fandom: Farscape
Characters/Pairings: Braca/Scorpius, Braca/Scorpius/Sikozu
Warnings: BDSM, breathplay, light bloodplay, references to past non-con, references to past child abuse
Rating: NC-17
Summary: After the events of the Peacekeeper Wars, Scorpius tries to figure out what to do with his life now that his Peacekeeper career and Scarran revenge plot have ended. As he and Braca strike out on their own, Scorpius reflects on his past to discover who he is without an all-consuming need for vengeance. Braca seems to think the answer to Scorpius' existential crisis is reuniting with Sikozu, the lover who betrayed them both, nearly killing Braca.
Claims open for: Any.
